Summary/Abstract: Freedom of speech as an important human right is diminished when speaking out for Palestinian rights. The paper examines this assertion through three case examples from Australia. These are academic freedom, media freedom and freedom of political representation and expression. To provide context to the free speech debates, an overview is presented of the conflict as well as an outline of the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions campaign.
